The bromide paper, which was first
shown AT the Chicago convention of the
photographers Of the United States in
$50, is still merely an experiment, but it
has greatly hurt the business of crayon
artists whose speciality was portrait
hacking This injury has been done not
by the superiority Of the bromide process
over free hand drawing, but by the cheap
ness Of these bromide pictures, and cheap
ness seems to he the one quality that
recommends bromide portraits to the
general public People know SO little
about cost or what constitutes a good
picture, that they can gauge their APP
probation simply by the price. Bromide
portraits are made the same ms ordinary
Photographic negatives. The paper is
coatcd with gelatine and the impression
is obtained by sunlight or electric light
by throwing up the picture from mega
tive.
say the process is still an experiment,
because it is not known how long these
pictures will last, Those exhibited at
Chicago ARE already fading. aud | do not
believe any of them will hold their color
for two years Some establishments have
n trick Of filling them ont with crayon,
but this does not better the quality The
peatne is liable to he scratched and the
picture ruined. Then again they put the
cheapest Kind Of talent ON them. | hear
that one place here ia St Louis, where SO
and ~ are paid for these pictures, the
proprietor gives young girls twenty 1--WE
